With the superb camera function is just a irresistible plus point.
I think this phone can last me more than 2 years.
After two years i will buy a another another phone.
In short, i will just buy this phone :)

Tom, I'm so buying the N8...tell me again how lame is the CPU...and, please, don't forget the about the lousy battery.
I sent an email to T.Dickson requesting he uses the X10 next time with the iblend function. :)

Dev, 01 Jun 2010You are clueless about the performance of application based no same SDK as that of OS. Once th... moreI know what i'm talking about. With a CPU from stoneage with 680 MHz and with a poor RAM that only have 256 MB, you can't expect much out of the Nokia N8 in comparsion to what you can get out of a device with a 1 GHz Snapdragon CPU and 512 MB RAM.
Those phones with the Snapdragon CPU and 512 MB RAM can run extremely big programs and games that require a butt load out of your device.
And on top of that, it's future proof for programs that comes out in the future that require alot more out of your device.
Doesn't help what you say. The CPU Nokia N8 use is going to prevent it from being future proof and it will only work with Symbian ^3 after what some sites have said so far.
So i rather have a phone that will be as good in 2 years as it is today.
Now, imagine if Symbian ^3 is the only OS the Nokia N8 can run, then imagine how damn poor the Nokia N8 is in 2 years while the devices i use for example that is an XPERIA X10 will still be doing very good in 2 years because it can run on OS'es that comes out that time that are totally new and have a crap ton of awesome features that Nokia N8 users only can dream to have.
And not only that, but most application / game developers use to move on to newer OS'es so they will only support newer OS'es on their programs and so on.
So what are you gonna do with the Nokia N8 in 2 years that can't do nothing compared to the phones / OS'es that comes out in 2 years?.
And not only that, devices with this CPU might come out right after Nokia N8 is released: http://www.gsmarena.com/newscomm-1703.php
And how badly do you think the Nokia N8 is going to look / be for the future then?.
I hope you see now why i'm so against Nokia N8 in this case.

[deleted post]You are clueless about the performance of application based no same SDK as that of OS. Once the OS is well optimized to CPU, a native application or game for the matter should deliver same performance without any lags or sort of stuff unless its poorly built without keeping attention to optimization of it with resourses and OS. I agree that Nokia Symbian^1 devices are quite laggy while playing HD games but lag is wholly due to insufficient RAM. Now N8 have got double the RAM, powerfull enough processor, HW acceleration, huge NAND flash etc, so with all this it would be very premature to say device will lag while playing/running heavy stuff. Take efforts to see reviews about gaming on N8. You can see Need for Speed (shift) playing flawlessly on device. Game developers pointed out that it was mainly possible because of optimization with Symbian^3 and its resourses. Hope you get what I am trying to point out.

As I have been saying 1 Ghz to 1.5 Ghz processor with loads of new technology on the way and above that 4G will be the story of early 2011 and rest will be history.
Nokia 600 or 680 mhz processors will be seen in sub 200$ handsets. Agree or not agree, my crystal ball will keep updating you all.
You can read about new Qualcomm processors on front page of GSM Arena

And to you again Dev.
Well, when someone is trying extremely hard to prove me wrong without giving facts or proofs of what they are saying, then what do you expect?. Ofc i will come back to tell them to shut up instead of lying so they can give us some facts and proofs instead.

[deleted post]Ya, its pretty outdated but unfortunately its that only few can think so even before using it. And its been discussed & proved thousand times that 1Ghz is not a requirement of Symbian & you seems to be trolling again but with the same old agenda(?)! I still didn't get what you want to prove. I remember once you said I would stop commenting about x10 all the time when people get my point. Come on, we know what you want to point out, we got it though all may not agree with your thoughts, your comparison between N8 & X10 or between Nokia & SE but why do you start same sort discussion again & again? Is there anything new to discuss, I will appreciate.

[deleted post]Hi Tom, how are you doing...let me tell you something...these people on this site are living with N8...you will notice that most of them have been here working hard to boast N8 to everyone who visit this site. I mean N8 is everything they have got to be in touch with modern day technology. Its an emotional attachment. You give them double or triple speed processor it does not matter. We must respect their love with N8 and must support them in their work. You see we say WORK IS WORSHIP...so we must not disturb their work but you must tell them if they make some mistake or try to mislead others. Let them live with N8...they are all good people. After all we are all tech lovers and we definitely want to be updated with daily news and outcomes...dont you agree Tom...

sukrsa, 01 Jun 2010I donot know about symbian 3. Is it possible to install Symbian OS v9.4 Series 60 rel. 5 appli... moreSymbian^3 is a backward compatible. It will not only able to run s60v5 applications but it can also run some s60v3 applications, those were supported by s60v5 as well.
Plus it also support applications based on Qt framework which shall be fully implemented in Symbian^4 with whole new UI based on it. But Symbian^3 shall be able to run Qt based applications as said.
In short, compatibility of Symbian^3 is like supported applications by S^1 plus Qt based (pronounced as cute).

not just your friend, a lot of people out there not using the full feature of BB, they use it just for a prestige or a status...
that's why I said that if you only use BB for chat and update your status in facebook or whatever, a lot of other phone out there is also capable of doing that...
I'm using 5800 right now, quite an old phone already but still a good phone with the latest firmware. And I bought it when the price is still high, around 460 USD I think, grrrr.....

Are u college students? 100% agree with u, but the reasons I hate BB are a lot of my friend (well, I am a senior high school student) is using it, and they use it only for BBM and Facebook, what a waste of office feature that BB has. Yeah, E72 is far better, it's even a lot cheaper than Onyx but with better specs. What phone do u use? Mine is the good old, but too overpriced at it's time, N81 :D
